Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 473: The pinnacle of culinary skills
What Lu Min wanted to eat was fish, but now he was rejected. After wandering outside the hospital for a while, he felt that there was no other way and thought of going to find someone from Xuanxin Mansion.
In less than a cup of tea, Lu Min found one of the governors of Xuanxin Mansion and wanted him to go to the Yuhuai Mountain guesthouse with him. As a result, the other party looked at him very strangely.
"The guest house where Mr. Ji is staying?"
"Yes, it's the guest house where Mr. Ji is staying. Could you please Governor Du to say a few words of kindness to me, and say that I, Lu Min, am not a rude person? What happened before was all a misunderstanding. Let me have a try." It’s okay for Lu to pay for the dishes cooked by the golden scale fish.”
Governor Du grinned.
"I can't help you with this. My Xuanxin Mansion only controls the realm ferry to open a convenient door for fellow Taoists and passengers, but that doesn't mean that we can let other fellow Taoists on the boat listen to my arrangements. Since Mr. Ji has rejected fellow Taoist Lu, don’t think about eating fish. If you fish for another year and a half, you might be able to get it.”
Lu Min scratched his head.
"It may not happen in a year and a half. Even if it does, even though I am a mirror sea cucumber, I may not be able to make the decision. Even if I can make the decision, I will not be willing to eat it..."
Governor Du smiled.
"Then there is nothing Du can do. Tell fellow Taoist the truth, we will not offend Mr. Ji if we offend anyone. Fellow Taoist, please go back."
Lu Min was politely sent out of the courtyard of the training cabin by the people from Xuanxin Mansion. He was stunned outside for a while. He also understood that there seemed to be no chance today, but he still subconsciously returned to Jiyuan and Yuhuaishan. Outside the small courtyard of the guest house where everyone is.
As a result, when I got here, I could already smell the faint aroma coming from inside.
This guest house is built according to the style of a single-family courtyard. The interior is naturally fully equipped, and the kitchen will not be left behind.
In the kitchen of the guest house, Ji Yuan was cooking. In addition to the secret seasonings of Qingsong Taoist from Yunshan Temple, the condiments prepared also included fresh Ju'an Xiaoge jujube honey.
Ji Yuan first mixed the seasonings with oil and stir-fried them, relying on his strong sense of smell to identify the aroma changes of each ingredient, and then poured in all the chopped fish.
"Zi la la la..."
A scent of oil rose, and the fish meat was about to melt into liquid. Ji Yuan immediately took the small bottle on the table and poured it into Ju'an Xiaoge's jujube honey.
As soon as the honey comes out, it flows onto the fish with a sweet fragrance, turning into a light yellow stream that spreads throughout the cauldron, and gradually penetrates into the fish that is about to melt, making the fish's stable shape appear delicate and clear.
"Zizzizi..."
Ji Yuan smiled as he smelled the aroma. Unexpectedly, his cooking skills were getting better and better. Then he casually nodded towards a plate of old sauce on the table and dispersed the sauce into a layer of sauce. Film, cover the entire pot, stir-fry a few more times, and close the lid.
After completing this step, Ji Yuan calculated that he only needed to wait half a quarter of an hour for the fish to be cooked.
"Puff puff puff puff..."
The sound of cooking in the pot is endless, and the unique aroma is constantly wafting.
Ji Yuan looked back and found that all the monks from Yuhuai Mountain were gathered around the door of the kitchen. Even some young disciples were swallowing their saliva. Even Ju Yuanzi's eyes were full of expectation.
This made Ji Yuan smile even more. Sure enough, even a cultivator, even a **** in the eyes of mortals, still has desires.
"Don't crowd around the door, hurry up and prepare tables and chairs. The fish will be out of the pot in just a few moments. Let's try what the golden-scaled fish made from the essence of Guishui tastes like."
What else can I say? Everyone immediately took action. If there were not enough tables and chairs in the courtyard, they moved them from the room. They also took out various jade butterflies, jade bowls, jade chopsticks and other objects from their own Qiankun belongings.
Because there was only one pot of fish, the people outside actually used magic to condense a large round table so that everyone could sit at the table.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ji Yuan opened the lid of the pot and saw a pot of fish meat that was red and bright in color, with a faint spicy smell and a hint of sweet aroma. Just by smelling the smell, Ji Yuan knew that the pot of fish meat had reached him. The pinnacle of someone's cooking skills so far.
The golden-scaled sturgeon is not actually a real fish, at least not a real creature. Although it looks very similar, it is actually just a resemblance in appearance. Its body does not have complete internal organs, and it does not eat or drink. It is neither pulled nor thrown out, it is purely made from the essence of Guishui, so after Ji Yuan removes the scales, there is a pot full of fish and meat here, and there is nothing to throw away.
As for the scales, Ji Yuan will keep them for now.
Seeing that the people outside were impatient, Ji Yuan quickly picked up a piece of fish meat with his fingers and stuffed it into his mouth to taste it. Instantly, a fresh, sweet and spicy taste filled his mouth. It was so delicious that Ji Yuan almost lost his own body. All tongues will swallow it.
"Hahahaha... The skills are close to the Tao, the skills are close to the Tao!"
After laughing a few times, Ji Yuan took out the pot together with it. This trick was very convenient as he learned it from Yun Shan Guan.
Although there is a magic circle to isolate it, the aroma from the guest house still spreads to the outside. The aroma is not strong, but it is extremely unique. It seems to have a strange ability to make those who smell it automatically secrete saliva continuously.
Lu Min waited outside for a long time, but before anyone came out to invite him, he swallowed his saliva countless times.
"It's terrible! I, Lu Min, have been practicing for more than three hundred years. This is the first time I feel that it is so terrible. I can't stay in this place anymore!"
After taking a deep breath of the fragrance, Lu Min ran away, not daring to stay any longer.
As soon as Lu Min left outside, Ji Yuan, who was chewing a large piece of fish meat, couldn't help but shake his head and smile. Ju Yuanzi beside him had just swallowed a mouthful of fish meat with the skin attached and said with a smile.
"As a cultivator, this person is really unique. I have never met such a thick-skinned person in hundreds of years."
Ji Yuan looks at him.
"I am afraid that more than 90% of your hundreds of years must have been spent practicing in the mountains. There are all kinds of wonders in the world."
Ju Yuanzi smiled.
"Mr. Ji is right, I... Hey, hey, wait, don't take away such a big piece of fish skin alone, give me some!"
In front of such delicacies, old gods like Ju Yuanzi couldn't hold back. Seeing Guan He actually tearing off a large piece of fish skin, he couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks to cut off the beard. Guan He was so frightened that he hurriedly Reflect the "virtue of respecting the elderly".
In this pot of fish, the meat and fish bones are very delicious, but the most delicious thing is the fish skin that looks like gelatin and is covered with ingredients. It is best to wrap it with a little fish meat. It is really magical. Intoxicatingly delicious.
This golden-scaled sturgeon is not too small, but there are not too many people eating it. In addition, those who are cultivators can go without food for a long time and eat a lot at once, so it cannot withstand everyone's chopstick attack. The whole pot of fish bottomed out quickly.
Then Ji Yuan used his killer weapon, a large pot of rice, topped with the remaining soup with minced fish.
Ji Yuan felt that this meal was worth it. Not only did he witness the pinnacle of his cooking skills and eat delicious golden-scaled sturgeon meat, but more importantly, who could see a group of "gods" holding bowls? The one who cooks the rice quickly and rushes to serve it?
"Huh..."
Yang Ming was the last one to put down his rice bowl and let out a long sigh of relief. He couldn't remember the last time he had such a hearty meal. It must have been more than two hundred years ago.
Everyone looked at each other, and after holding it in for a while, they all couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahahaha..." "Hehehehehe..."
"Interesting and interesting..."
Everyone has a feeling that being with Ji Yuan often brings a unique sense of life, but this is not vulgar, not vulgar at all. After thinking about it, there is a unique understanding of the immortal way. The feeling appears.
……
The Mirror Sea at night is indeed more beautiful than during the day. All passengers returned to the deck again to enjoy this rare scenery.
Lu Min lay on a deck at the bow of the ship and sighed. Although he had just run away from the Yuhuai Mountain Guest House, he had smelled the aroma and could never forget it. He could only imagine it in his mind. The aroma represents what the fish tastes like.
"Hey..."
When he sighed again, Ji Yuan's voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't think about things you can't force. As a thank you to Rong Ji of Jingxuanhai Pavilion for fishing, I will give this to you."
Lu Min straightened up immediately and caught the object thrown by Ji Yuan with both hands. Then he spread his palms and found that there was a fruit core on it. He didn't know what kind of fruit it was.
"Ji relied on this thing to lure the golden-scaled sturgeon to the bait. As for the thunder method, don't even think about it."
Lu Min quickly stood up and saluted Ji Yuan, who was ten steps away.
"Thank you fellow Taoist for the bait. Thank you fellow Taoist for the bait. Lu will definitely use it well! Well, let me ask one more question, what does the fish meat taste like when it is cooked into a dish that is so fragrant?"
Ji Yuan smiled.
“Fresh, fragrant, spicy, sweet, moderately salty, I can only say it is delicious.”
After saying that, Ji Yuan turned around and left.
It was okay not to ask, but if I asked, Ji Yuan answered, but Lu Min felt even more uncomfortable when he heard it, and secretly decided in his heart that next time he catches a golden-scaled sturgeon, he must cook and eat whatever he wants!
Thinking about this, he lowered his head to look at the core of the fruit in his hand, and after a sniff, a faint spiritual fragrance came out. Lu Min frowned and carefully looked at the top and bottom of the core. His movement method swept through the inside and outside, but found nothing. Any trace of forbidden magic.
‘In other words, this spiritual fragrance and the special spiritual energy within it are condensed and inseparable because of the core itself? ’
Lu Min has seen a lot of fruits with spiritual energy, but if they are stored for a long time, the spiritual energy will still dissipate and the fruit will still rot. The core of the fruit in front of him has obviously been away from the tree for a long time, but it still has such rich essence. Pure spiritual energy, there is a faint heat flowing inside, and no hands or feet have been touched by magical powers. Why is this?
Lu Min's thoughts gradually shifted from his desire for fish. He seemed to have seen similar descriptions somewhere. After a long time, he suddenly felt a shock all over and blurted out a word.
"Spiritual roots!"
